This Week on Dispatches: Franklin D. Rausch on the Siege of Savages’ Old Fields

On this week’s Dispatches, host Brady Crytzer interviews historian and distinguished professor Franklin D. Rausch on an early, pivotal battle between Patiots (Whigs) and Loyalists in South Carolina, with the Loyalists trying to dislodge the Whigs from their strong point at Savages’ Old Fields. The battle was instrumental in drawing up the lines of what would be a brutal civil war in the state during the American Revolution.
